Sunshine On My Shoulder

J.R. Jones reviews Danny Boyle's Sunshine in the Chicago Reader, calling it a must see. The film's a sci-fi thriller about a crew sent on a mission to reignite the sun.

Jones: "For all its celestial musing, Sunshine is expertly plotted and paced, the science driving the narrative as one complication leads to another." This made me laugh, since the people I saw it with found much of the movie, especially the last half hour or so, incomprehensible.

Ironically, in the same paragraph, Jones shows he didn't follow the plot very well when he says the ship's gardens are destroyed by the navigator's screw-up--it actually happens due to a later incident.
